About Oxfam

Each year, our volunteers help raise over an incredible £1.5 million! For every hour you work as a steward, Oxfam are paid for your time. On top of that, our festival shops raise hundreds of thousands by selling donated stock. In 2023 alone our shops raised £316,684, saving 9 tonnes of clothing from going to landfill in the process!

Meanwhile, our campaigners engage thousands of festival-goers with Oxfam’s campaign work - gathering signatures to lend weight to petitions calling on positive action from world leaders, and encouraging the public to think about climate justice, champion change and take action to shape a brighter future for our world.

Collectively, our amazing family of volunteers has an unmeasurable impact that expands well beyond the festival field.

Oxfam believes that poverty is an injustice that can and must be overcome – so everyone has the power to thrive, not just survive.

We believe that by standing together with communities around the world to speak out against injustice – working in the toughest places on earth and tackling the inequalities that exacerbate poverty – a kinder and radically better world is possible.

Last year, Oxfam and partners supported 9.8 million people around the world to fight poverty. By responding fast when an emergency hits, funding long-term development work, and campaigning and putting pressure on world leaders to tackle the injustices that cause poverty.
